11 November 2025, 05:55 USA: Senate Backs Deal to End Record U.S. Shutdown.
The longest U.S. government shutdown in history could end this week after the Senate advanced a compromise deal late Sunday to restore federal funding, Reuters reported. A majority of senators voted Monday to approve legislation to end the record 41-day shutdown, with voting still underway. The agreement would reopen agencies closed since October 1, bringing relief to low-income families affected by disrupted food aid, hundreds of thousands of unpaid federal workers, and travelers hit by thousands of canceled flights. The deal would keep the government funded through January 30, while adding about USD 1.8 trillion annually to its USD 38 trillion debt. President Donald Trump’s Republicans hold majorities in both chambers of Congress, but Democrats used the Senate’s 60-vote rule to push for an extension of health insurance subsidies for 24 million Americans. The compromise also sets up a December vote on that measure.
